The dawn phenomenon is the early-morning increase in blood sugar (glucose) — usually between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. in us folks. It's also closely related to the Somogyi effect.
All diabetics get this to some extent or the other.
Some more than others, inherently, if your sugars are on the low side, before bed and you ain't eaten anything, your gonna be having a bad time during the night.
I have a spreadsheet, of, how many carbs to eat before bed depending on my numbers.
I generally find, eat more at bedtime, better numbers in the morning
sorry... eat more of the "right" thing
and now as it's nearly 10pm, off to have a snack
PS
THANKS ALL>.................................MUCHO APPRECIATED ALL your replies
